Quote by Edward T. Welch

“If our knowledge of God is weak, we are left with a god who is a strange composite of truth, satanic lies, our projected desires and expectations, our experiences with our parents, and the accumulation of life’s hurts. This is not the God of the cross who loved us while we were enemies, and this composite will not sustain us.”

“It is said that Edward had very enlightened, advanced, and comprehensive ideas of statesmanship; that he wished to fuse England, Scotland, and Wales into one grand monarchy, with anticipation of a great future for the whole. The extreme exasperation he felt, and the savage cruelty he showed to the patriotic Scots who opposed him, were quite a natural result of the baffling and frustration of his wise conception and benificent designs. In the history of nations, as in that of philosophy, we are very apt to interject into ancient actors and thinkers modern ideas, at which, probably, they would have stood amazed. At the best, this view of the character and motives of Edward is a mere hypothesis. But, supposing him to have held that it was infinitely better for Scotland to submit to his rule, that hardly gave him a right to use violence, brutality, and murder to enforce his views.”

“Fusing the doctrines of Plotinus and Proclus with the creeds and beliefs of Christianity, Dionysius the Pseudo-Areopagite combined the Neo-Platonic conviction of the fundamental oneness and luminous aliveness of the world with the Christian dogmas of the triune God, original sin and redemption. The universe is created, animated and unified by the perpetual self-realization of what Plotinus had called "the One," what the Bible had called "the Lord," and what he calls "the superessential Light.”

“Liam began to dance from leg to leg, feeling alive, the burning nobility of words still coursing their flame through him. “We have to go, Boyoh. This is the reason why we went into archaeology. Science has laid before us a mystery and we can’t insult it by not accepting its invitation.” ~ Chapter 6 The Garden of Souls”

“Creative individuals who consistently invent and develop ideas that change the world can pose serious risks when they lack integrity. If such individuals are dishonest, untrustworthy, pathological liars, or narcissists, their innovations and businesses, no matter how beneficial, can become national security threats. This is because they may exploit access to sensitive or classified information obtained through their ventures and potentially trade it with adversaries.”
